Bunching happens a lot when one delay causes one bus/streetcar/train to hold up all the ones behind it.
Best solution is letting transit vehicles going the opposite direction to turn ahead ahead of the bottleneck and serve the passengers waiting at the stations in front of the delay area.
- bentcorner 12y agoAnother solution would be to have the lead bus skip pickup at a stop (or two). You'd need clear and solid signage to assuage people waiting though. Something like "Behind schedule, dropoff only. Next bus arrives in 2 minutes".
